So much for controlling computers with a mouse or touch screen! According to a new article released by TechNewsWorld, the latest method to control your computer is with your eyes. Tobeii Technology has recently unveiled their latest computer, a laptop controlled by movement of the user’s eyes.  By eyeing parts of the screen, the user is able to open and close windows, browse documents and photos, even zoom in and out. Simply looking at the screen will cause it to brighten from auto-dim energy saving mode. Reviews from consumers who have had the opportunity to test the technology are favorable.  The computer is in the prototype stage and is reported to be bulkier than the typical laptop.  However, Tobeii Technology has plans to partner with computer manufacturers to further develop the product into a design that makes it feasible for everyday use.  Maybe in the future they will add this technology to our TVs.  The possibilities are endless!

Both Mitsubishi and Samsung have been producing 3-D-ready TVs for years. However, back when they first starting making and selling their 3-D TVs, the 3-D technology was much different than it is today. The result was that their TVs simply no longer worked with today’s technology, so the companies had to send out upgrade kits to be compatible.

Late last year, Mitsubishi released an upgrade kit for its DLP TVs, which is a technology no longer used by any TV manufacturer except Mitsubishi. These DLP TVs are adequate in quality, but they are often much thicker than today’s flat-screens. Their two-feet deep sets are no good for placement in TV lift cabinets. However, the company believes in the technology and will, in 2011, be releasing a 92-inch 3-D TV in DLP for under $6K.

But back to the upgrade kit, the 3D Starter Pack. The pack will work for both Mitsubishi and Samsung 3-D-ready DLP TVs (not including plasma models), and it comes with two pairs of active-shutter 3-D eyewear, a 3-D emitter,

Boxee, a small box or computer program that makes Internet media and movies available for viewing on your television, will be making HD movie-watching a possibility in its next firmware update, say company representatives.

With either an actual Boxee (pictured above from the back side) device or by installing the Boxee software on a laptop computer and hooking that up to your television, Boxee already gives its customer access to more than 40,000 TV show episodes and movie- and sports-streaming capabilities from partners like the MLB, Netflix, NHL, Pandora and Vudu. It is through Vudu’s services, however, that customers will be able to soon watch HD-enabled movies.

The firmware update will come out automatically, but customers can also install the update manually by going to (Settings > System > Update). Other Boxee updates in this install include support for language selection in subtitle/audio, enhancements to its Browser performance and the Browser opening in a lower resolution to allow
